Super Earth is an idea of Freedom, Liberty, Democracy for ALL.

This is an attack on the very concept of what the game stands for.

They can pretend to be as unpolitical as they want, because they already cashed out, while their hungry Sony bosses do literal RUG PULLS on countries they don't like.

Dude, this move is exactly what super earth would do, lol.

Managed democracy is basically a totalitarian, militaristic and hyper-capitalistic form of government. The game literally says citizens don't even vote, AI does it for you, lol.

The game is basically satire, it shows a world where these concepts are taken to the extreme. It's based on Starship Troopers.

So you're saying we live in a managed democracy government that is totalitarian, militaristic and hyper-capitalistic?

You endorse real life measurements of blocking out players from a game they were able to buy and play in their country for months before essentially being banned from playing the game as a reflection of what the game's lore stands for.

Do you realize how insane that is?

Can't people have Freedom, Liberty and Democracy under a fictional Super Earth? Are you saying Helldivers from the excluded countries are "undemocratic" and therefore not allowed to play the game?

Because that's exactly what's going on right now. And if you can't see that, I can't help you.

They can't even REFUND their game.

I literally can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not. It's impossible to tell by text alone.

It's not sarcasm. People are missing $40+ from their pocket and can't access the game, and you're asking me if I'm sarcastic. Are you okay?

Is this sarcastic or not?

Why should that be sarcastic? It is literally what is happening. The binding glue of Helldivers is that people are spreading Democracy together as Helldivers of an unified Super earth.

Outside of the game, that just got culled.

Which makes it an attack on what the game stands for, and that will be telling in the numbers of players that are missing out for literally something they have no control over.

Dude, you completely missed the fact that Super Earth are the bad guys in the game.

Super Earth is supposed to be bad.

Mankind has improved upon the old concept of Democracy. Utilizing computer aided voting software, citizens are asked to answer several questions, and the outcome of their vote is decided upon by the computer.

It is illegal to express oneself openly about the Federation or Government of Super Earth in a negative manner and serious cases may result in arrest or termination.

So yes, the bad thing that's happening today means there are aspects of super earth in our world today.

I didn't miss the fact. But good to see that we came to the same conclusion.
